Eastern newts are found in lakes, ponds, streams, and damp forests. Their life span is 12-15 years. We often find them walking the trails of Grafton, Vermont. Their striking color in the juvenile red eft stage is a dramatic contrast to their surroundings.

This needlefelted eastern newt measures 6 inches long. It's made from 100% wool over a wire armature. The toes are individually wrapped with wool over wire and finished with bees was. The sculpture is very flexible and easy to pose.

This is not a toy and not intended for young children.
